A number of historic trails pass through the North Central region of Montana. You'll enjoy learning more about the state's rich and colorful past by visiting the many sites and attractions along these routes.

Lewis & Clark Trail
Giant Springs State Park, the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center, and Decision Point are among the Trail attractions in this region.

Nez Perce Trail
This National Historic Trail, which begins in Northeast Oregon, ends at the Bear Paw Battlefield site outside of Chinook. The Battlefield site and Blaine County Museum are both great places to learn more about the Nez Perce Chiefs aborted flight to Canada.
